Review
Oh, boy, here we are, Robot Monster. The title isn't much, a robot who is...a monster, I suppose. Made from a budget of $16,000, this film was orignally made in 3-D (Ah 3-D, why do you live on...) The makers of the film didn't have money to make a costume, so they used a gorilla suit with a diving helmet instead. And it's...pretty funny, actually. This could actually be a comedy if you redubbed the lines because of the robot- I'm sorry "Ro-Man" as he is called. The film actually made a profit in its time (People apparently love to watch aliens invading a whole lot) If this was a mirror to Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, this would repersent the laughable opposite of it with decent acting, odd props, and a laughable, yet kind of smileworthy alien. In the end, the film is ridiculous in some points and unintentionally funny in the rest. You'll get more chills of laughter than actually scares, but oh well.
Overall, I give it 3 out of 10 stars.
